Warner's remarks are in contrast to comments made by Fifa earlier on Tuesday, in which they claimed that former Concacaf federation president would appear as a witness in the continuing ethics committee investigation into bribery.

"Mr Warner will be investigated as a witness but not as an accused party," read a Fifa statement.

Fifa added that Warner had offered his support to the ethics committee.

Warner's departure poses a lot of questions about the way Fifa operates

Warner and Bin Hammam were accused of giving or offering bribes of £600,000 to Caribbean football associations.

They both denied any wrongdoing but were suspended on 29 May pending further investigation by the ethics committee.

After Warner quit on Monday, Fifa released a statement which stated that "as a consequence of Mr Warner's resignation, all ethics committee procedures against him have been closed and the presumption of innocence is maintained".

Fifa says Warner will be involved as a witness in the continuing investigation into the allegations against Bin Hammam and the Caribbean associations.

In his resignation statement on Monday, Warner said: "I am convinced, and I am advised by counsel, that since my actions did not extend beyond facilitating the meeting that gave Mr Bin Hammam an opportunity to pursue his aborted bid for the Fifa presidency, I would be fully exonerated by any objective arbiter."

Warner claimed he had been "hung out to dry" and that "gifts have been around throughout the history of Fifa".
